Is the Bucks’ crisis continuing?
The champions from Milwaukee welcome the Golden State Warriors, the runners-up in the West. The home side, for their part, have been off the pace of late. They have only won one of their last five games.
On the other hand, they have now had three days off, which should recharge their batteries more compared to the visitors, who have had one day off less. For the game at Fiserv Forum between the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors on Jan. 14, 2022, a tip from today can be read below!
Milwaukee Bucks – Statistics & current form
The Bucks have had to do without various players recently, which names the most important reason for the drop in performance. Especially the offensive has declined: Head coach Mike Budenholzer’s squad scored only 99 points in the last game. The fact that the hosts did not score in triple figures was not seen for more than ten games before.
The home strength has also suffered recently: Although the win rate in home games is still a respectable 65 per cent, fourth best in the Eastern Conference, the last two home games against Toronto and Detroit ended in defeats.
Golden State Warriors – Statistics & Current Form
All is well again in the “Dub Nation” since a few days: The reason is of course the return of Klay Thompson. The guard missed the past two seasons due to very serious injuries, but now he is back on board.
In his debut against Cleveland, he also showed that even this extremely long interruption in his career has hardly done any damage to his playing strength. In the last game in Memphis, he delivered another solid performance, although he still has to operate under a restriction of a maximum of 20 minutes of play.
Milwaukee Bucks – Golden State Warriors Tip
The Bucks cannot rely on a home bonus in this pairing: Only two of the past seven home games in the last eight years or so against head coach Steve Kerr’s selection have been victorious.
Currently, the hosts are also plagued by various absences, which is why the results have fallen off recently. For the game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors, the tip includes more than six assists by Stephen Curry.
With the return of Klay Thompson, the “chef” is relieved in scoring and now functions more as an assist man. This was already evident in the last game when he ended up with ten assists. With Thompson, he also has an accurate receiver at his disposal, which means that the number of successful assists should again be comparatively high.
